Quinoline derivatives and insecticide comprising thereof as active ingredient

ABSTRACT

Disclosed are compounds that have excellent insecticidal activity and are usable as agricultural and horticultural insecticides. Compounds represented by formula (I) or agriculturally and horticulturally acceptable acid addition salts thereof have excellent insecticidal activity and are usable as agricultural and horticultural insecticides.

CROSS-REFERENCE OF RELATED APPLICATION

This patent application is an application claiming priority based on an early filed Japanese patent application, Japanese Patent Application No. 228337/2004 (filing date: Aug. 4, 2004). The whole disclosure of Japanese Patent Application No. 228337/2004 is incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to quinoline derivatives and agricultural and horticultural insecticides comprising the same as an active ingredient.

2. Background Art

Various compounds having control effect have hitherto been developed. For example, WO 98/055460 discloses quinoline derivatives having fungicidal activity, but on the other hand, it does not disclose the insecticidal activity of these derivatives. Japanese Patent No. 2633377 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,168,311 disclose quinoline derivatives having insecticidal activity. The compounds described in these publications are different from quinoline derivatives represented by formula (I) which will be described below in the structure of the substituent at the 6-position of quinoline. Regarding agricultural and horticultural insecticides, it can be said that, due to problems associated with, for example, the presence of insect species which have low sensitivity to these compounds or are difficult to be controlled, the development of novel agricultural and horticultural insecticides having excellent insecticidal activity are still desired.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present inventors have now found that novel quinoline derivatives represented by formula (I) have significant insecticidal activity. The present invention has been made based on such finding.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide novel quinoline derivatives having significant insecticidal activity and to provide agricultural and horticultural insecticides comprising the same as an active ingredient which have reliable effect and can be safely used.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a quinoline derivative. This derivative is a compound represented by formula (I) or an agriculturally and horticulturally acceptable acid addition salt thereof:

Agriculturally and horticulturally acceptable acid addition salts in the compounds of formula (I) or formula (Ia) include, for example, hydrochlorides, nitrates, sulfates, phosphates, or acetates.

Compounds represented by formula (I) or formula (Ia) may be produced by the process shown in the following scheme. Specifically, compounds represented by formula (Ib), which are compounds represented by formula (I) or formula (Ia) wherein R₁ represents COR₄, may be provided by the process described in Japanese Patent No. 2633377. In the following scheme, R₂, R₃, and R₄, X₁, X₂, and X₃, Y₁, Y₂, Y₃, Y₄, and Y₅, and Z are as defined above, Y₁, Y₂, Y₃, Y₄, and Y₅ may be Y₁₁, Y₁₂, Y₁₃, Y₁₄, and Y₁₅ in compound represented by formula (Ia).

Compounds represented by formula (1b) may be synthesized by reacting a compound represented by formula (2) with a reagent represented by formula (3a) or formula (3b) in the presence or absence of a base and optionally subjecting the reaction product to a substituent exchange.

Compounds represented by formula (1c), which are compounds represented by formula (I) or formula (Ia) wherein R₁ represents R₁′ which represents optionally substituted C₁₋₁₈ alkyl, optionally substituted C₂₋₁₈ alkenyl, optionally substituted C₂₋₁₈ alkynyl, optionally substituted C₃₋₁₀ cycloalkyl, optionally substituted phenyl lower alkyl, optionally substituted phenoxy lower alkyl, optionally substituted phenyl, optionally substituted hetero ring, may be synthesized by reacting a compound represented by formula (2) wherein R₁ represents a hydrogen atom with a compound represented by formula (3c), or reacting a compound represented by formula (4) wherein R₁ represents a chlorine atom with a compound represented by formula (3d), in an organic solvent, for example, methanol, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, benzene, chloroform, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, or dimethylformamide in the presence or absence of a base and optionally subjecting the reaction product to a substituent exchange. The compound represented by formula (4) wherein R₁ represents a chlorine atom may be prepared by reacting the compound represented by formula (2) with a halogenating agent such as thionyl choride, oxalyl chloride, or phosphorus oxychloride, in an organic solvent or in the absence of a solvent.

Here bases include, for example, organic amines such as triethylamine or pyridine, and inorganic alkalis such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, and sodium hydride.

Compounds represented by formula (I) or formula (Ia) wherein R₁ represents an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal may be produced by mixing and reacting a compound represented by formula (I) or formula (Ia) wherein R₁ represents a hydrogen atom or COR₄ with a base such as a hydroxide, hydride, alkylate or the like of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, for example, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydride, or butyllithium, in an organic solvent, for example, methanol, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, benzene, chloroform, dichloromethane, or tetrahydrofuran.

The compound represented by formula (2) as a starting compound may be produced by a conventional method, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 70, 2402 (1948) or Tetrahedron Lett. 27, 5323 (1986). In the following scheme, R₉ represents C₁₋₄ lower alkyl.

The compound represented by formula (2) is a tautomer of a compound represented by formula (I) or formula (Ia) wherein R₁ represents a hydrogen atom.
